Price Check: Kobold

[JohnCapital]

With the feff (adjustment, nerf, whatever you call it) I'm wondering what the pricing for kobold will do.

Its best known for its cold protection and its other values are often overlooked. I'm wondering if folks will notice that and prices will rise, or folks will abandon kobold and prices will drop even further then they are now.

I know kobold isn't exactly high-end armor and doesn't sell for much anyway (and likely ever will) but I'm just curious what will happen with this armor now that the main mob it's used against has been altered so much.

I don't think it'll make any impact on the price to be honest. Ghost offers more protection than Kobold against them and is much more widely owned. For those who are hunting small ones and feel ghost is overprotecting a bit there's other perfectly decent options anyway.

Assuming nothing major has changed in this VU, Kobold drops pretty frequently (comparable to Shogun) so I don't think the price will rise as its easily available. I looted my whole set without too much trouble (completed around 6 months ago).

They only changed HP and regeneration on the mob so the armor has nothing to do with that?

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. Was just curious.

Actually, it seems to me that they also dropped their attack speed a bit. The "nerffed" mobs seem to hit a bit less in exchange for the increased health/regen.

The lower attack rate was what made me think that kobold will become even less useless.
